That's all from the BBC News at Six, so

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:

Passengers' anger at an above inflation rise in train fares.

I think it is disgusting. For people in the north it could mean their

fears are arising by four times their salary. ``fares are rising.

Rare Spanish birds make their nest at a local nature reserve.

As rail fare increases are announced today, a transport campaign group

says passengers in this area are not being fairly effective.

Based on our estimates, is season`ticket prices go up as

expected, some passengers could pay hundreds of pounds more. Those

travelling between Grantham in London would be almost ?7 for the

year of those using the Hull to Leeds route could be charged almost

?400 of a season`ticket over ?2000. ``Grantham to London would be almost

?7000. So news today that passengers could

pay hundreds of pounds more for their season tickets next year

has not come as any surprise to If they can't afford it, they

will shut them down in the end. It goes up every year, services

are being cut, and really it should For people in the North, will try

the Mac to find a way to avoid avoid paying for affairs which are rising

much more than the rate of inflation. We cannot create wages

which go everyone unless we invest in our vital railway infrastructure.

Labour say that customers are being ripped off. They want the government

to pay more so that taxpayers pay less. More than a quarter of every

ticket bought goes to investment in the network. This year the

government capped fee rises keeping them in line with inflation. `` fear

rises. `` fare rises. Here is how to get in touch if you want to give us

an e`mail. We would like to hear from you if

have reacted angrily to legal action banning them from part of the North

Sea. The High Court injunction has been taken out by Dong Energy which

wants to carry out survey work for a new wind farm in local fishing

grounds. Here's our Environment Correspondent, Paul Murphy.

This is the first time Dong Energy or I think any other wind energy

take this course of action. An investigation is underway after a

Banning of fishermen. There are plans to build up to 90 wind

turbines here that the developers need to fishermen out of the way to

complete the initial survey work. The relationship with the fishermen

has become increasingly strained. Dong energy offered some packages to

fishermen but fishermen here say they have been offered nothing at

all. When that failed, an injunction was sort and was one. `` was sought

and was won. Dong Energy has said that

the failed negotiations left them with no choice but to get the

fishermen banned. We have made a number of offers, we have increased

those offers, we have done rather a lock to reach a settlement. It is

worth pointing out that this is the first time that Dong Energy, or I

think, any other wind farm developer offshore has had to take this course

of action. And so, attempt at offshore has had to take this course

of action. And so, attempts at negotiation are

after the M180 westbound had to be closed when a lorry hit a bridge.

It happened at the junction with the M181 northbound at about two

o'clock. The lorry ` which was carrying a forklift truck ` hit an

overhead bridge, leaving debris and oil in the road. Diversions are

still in place. The last of a group of travellers

their campaign to the streets to ensure voters give a clear message

Sunday newspaper that women focus on family rather than on complex issues

like Iraq. I think they are more concerned with family issues and

local issues than with ideas. Diana Johnson joins me in the studio. What

do you make of his comments? He is talking absolute nonsense. The idea

that women MPs are not combat in the Commons is rubbish. I think he's

using stereotypes here and it does not reflect what is happening in

Parliament today. He was elected 37 years ago and is leaving at the next

election and we have a great new female candidate in Grimsby and I

think he is simply wrong. I have spoken in nearly 300 based of this

Parliament and he has spoken about 40. I thought you Labour MPs stuck

together but of a slipknot. Not when he is wrong on this. `` but

obviously not. He says you are only issued on small issues. All members

of Parliament are interested in big ideas, of course we are. He says

that it's time to call it a day on all women selections. This was

viewed as a way of getting more women into Parliament and is a

short`term measure to get some women in. When Austin Mitchell was elected

in 1977, I am sure he was on an all`male short list then. If the

best member of Parliament as a man, then so be it? Having an all`male

short list is not the way to get the best person and by taking this step

we have a short`term measure to get a more representative parliament. I

think these short lists serve a purpose here.

women in the commons will weaken Parliament? Or agree with Diana's

comments? Also are you supportive of all women shortlists for selecting

The Ministry of Justice is investigating how a prisoner,

accused of murder, was accidentally released earlier this

month. He was found a number of hours later and taken back into

custody. The jail has recently been criticised by inspectors. And today

the government has been defending the prison system against claims it

How did a prisoner held within these walls come to be accidentally

released by prison officers. It's a question the ministry of justice are

trying to get to the bottom of. Martynas Kupstys was supposed to be

on his way to Lincoln Crown Court to face trial ` accused of committing

murder earlier this year ` instead he was set free.

It's been reported he was let out after a mix`up with another prisoner

and that he tried to tell staff but the mistake was only discovered when

he didn't show up at court. A number of newspapers have reported that he

was found three hours later sitting opposite the prison.

Mr Kupstys and his fellow defendant's trial collapsed for

legal reasons, they'll face a retrial next March.

Lincoln Prison's already been criticised this year ` a report in

April said there were problems with drugs, violence and prisoner safety.

It's also one of the most overcrowded prison's in the UK.

On a day when the government's defended the prison service and says

its not in crisis, the charity the Howard League for Penal Reform says

a mistake like this suggests otherwise.

We have seen all sorts of issues at this point in time. We have

challenges it with an increased population that was not expected in

the last 12 months. That is not a crisis in our prisons. There are

pressures we are facing but there is not a crisis.

showers on Thursday and Friday. There are still some showers around

but they will die out through the course of the evening leaving us

with largely dry conditions overnight. It will be a cool night

temperatures around nine or 10 degrees. It will be somewhat cooler

in the countryside. Your next high water will be just before three

o'clock tomorrow morning. It will be a chilly start particularly in the

countryside but largely dry with broken cloud and sunny spells. Most

places will avoid rain and will stay dry. Temperatures will still be well

below average. We should be around 21 degrees 22 degrees but out of the

sunshine it will be around 16 degrees. Looking further ahead, it

will be a cool day on Thursday and will close or from the north and at

times there will be some showery rain around. On Friday it will be

sunny spells and scattered showers. There will be a few early showers

for Saturday but it will dry out for largely dry weekend and temperatures

will recover slightly over the course of the weekend. A little bit

cold at night but not too bad during the day.

At 21, Spencer Roe is at the of beginning

of his career as a professional show`jumper, but already,

he has been called up to represent his country at the highest level.

His competitive career started at age 12, competing on ponies.

But Spencer's family never thought this was the beginning of a career.

If you had told me a year ago that we would be standing here,

saying my son was going to compete, I would have laughed at you, because

The other Lincolnshire member of Team GB is Spencer's horse,

called Wonder Why, but known affectionately as Disney.

We have to trust each other to jump these bigger fences.

He has been with the family for six years.

as good a rider as you want, but if you haven't got the horse,

So we have a big partnership between us two,

and we have to trust each them, and he does not want to throw me.

The pair have already competed for their country in the

Nation's Cup, the equestrian equivalent of the Premier League.

Their jumping has helped the team avoid relegation.

For a 21`year`old to break through into a senior championship team,

that is an outstanding achievement, and it shows not only his skill,

but also the support package that surrounds him.

If Spencer's team jump well, they could secure their Olympic

qualification, and this 21`year`old could be

a step closer to representing his country in Rio, 2016.

What is behind the pools start for Scunthorpe? ``poor start. It seems

to be the meet up in class that has led to the defeats. `` the leap up.

They are a good team. He is a good manager. I think by the end of the

think so after two games but I think there is a sense of disappointment

after the euphoria of coming up from the lower division. It has not quite

three new players in the last 48 hours. Today he brought in as

goalkeeper on loan from Peterborough. The regular goalkeeper

is injured. I wonder how difficult they found it to make the transition

between leaks. I think perspective is a big word to use at this stage

of the season and the quality of opposition with a Swindon and
